Knight of the Ice Vol. 8 (Kodansha, 2021)

HIS KNIGHTLY CAUSE Despite some difficulties, Kokoro has managed to advance to the Grand Prix Final. According to his choreographer, the key now is to become an actual knight, but can Kokoro do it? He's never been terribly confident, and he doesn't seem to know what it takes to really put on a show... Meanwhile, the competition is only getting more intense, as his rivals strengthen their resolve and fresh young skaters begin to make waves. Kokoro will have to consider what motivates him to skate, both as one of his country's top athletes and as an individual.
